That was nuthin when I hit 200! I was trying to compare this bow to Patrick's " Fury ". He had shot 199 with an arrow about 100 grains heavier but Fury weighed 13# more and had 2" more on power stroke. Using that bow as a measuring stick, I believe I surpassed it. Not taking anything from that amazing crafted bow in the least, thats why I was so happy to have done so well.

Whats interesting is I built two more and neither seemed to out perform slightly ticked ( pictured in this video ), though I didnt really shoot them as much, working on my release to get max speed. Maybe next time.

I'm proud of you buddy! You accomplished exactly what you sat out to do on the first try. Not everyone can say that.

By the way, you are crazy!

I've had two neighbors come over and ask about the jubilation Kevin expressed upon hitting 200 thru the Chrony.  ...neither was complaining at all, in fact one said it was good to hear "someone so completely happy about what they were doing", ...so he had to come ask what we had been doing!
